No one tells you exactly what a night with a baby will actually be like. You hear mention of this intimidating thing called the witching hour, but until you’ve been there, you haven’t got a CLUE what you are in for.

My absolute FAVORITE thing to get me through the witching hour? This.

The Harlem Bounce comes courtesy of a Gaiam Yoga Ball without which no one in my house would ever ever sleep. And not only does it put the little critter to sleep? You get pretty kickass abs in the process. Give one to a pregnant girlfriend as a shower gift and she will TOTALLY thank you later.

I’m not really sure which of these I’m most excited about. Maybe the Nose Frida, although I’m definitely just going to buy one if I don’t win it before baby #2 shows up. The nursing wrap is probably my next favorite. I didn’t use a cover much with my daughter after the first couple months, but it would be great next time to have one for planes and other places where I’m in close quarters with strangers.

I am so excited and amazed by this awesome contest/giveaway!! My favorite item is the snotsucker. I know that sounds crazy but I know it’s the one that will gross out my husband!! I will be sure to make HIM use it!!! Ha, ha….Thanks for sharing all your favorite things!!

I think I’m most excited about the newborn bundle of gdiapers. I’ve always wanted to try them but I already have cloth diapers for my two year old. For baby #2, due in early September, it would be awesome to have gdiapers.

so many wonderful things on this list to be excited about!!!
so far.. im gonna have to go with the moby baby wrap, with my first i didnt get a baby wrap/holder and it was impossible to do anything while holding her. being that im having twins this time around if i dont win (crosses fingers) ill def need to buy one!

I am the most excited about the diapers but would do anything for the moby wrap! Ive been a nanny for seven years and gotten to use allll kinds of products with other babies, finally I get to use what I want on my own! I hope I win I hope I win!

I totally need this for my sister who is expecting baby number 2. I have followed this week and everything you have pointed out, I wish I knew when I had my little guy a year and half ago. Where were you then? :)

Carrie, the exercise ball is the most wonderful baby thing invented for non baby purposes. Even when I was pregnant it was the only thing I could sit on, was AMAZING during labor and now? OMG the thought of not having it every night? Distressing.

I’d love to win the MobyGo! Actually, I found your site by searching for baby carrier giveaways. I need one for hiking and generally going about life as my 3-year-old demands when my 7-week-old is too big for her stretchy wrap this summer, and my husband thinks it’s a waste of money. But hey, he’s not the one spending all day with two kids, you know? Anyway, thanks for the opportunity!

Oh the difference a few years makes... Where once I was a professional event planner and fundraiser in beautiful Southern CA, now I am a full time SAHM in a gorgeous-in-it's-own-way, semi-rural cow town in Sonoma County. Hey at least they have wine, right?
